Use existing ChemStation data and methods
Data from OpenLab CDS ChemStation Edition rev. C.01.01 or later already used the ACAML data format. It can be loaded directly in OpenLab CDS. You only need to transfer the result set to the Results folder of your OpenLab CDS project.
If OpenLab CDS is connected to ECM 3.x, you can simply load the existing SSZZip archives from their current location (see Special aspects of working with OpenLab ECM 3.x).
The method status of ChemStation methods is Generic by default. See Method approval.
When loading the data, OpenLab CDS looks for existing data analysis methods associated with the injections. If there are any, the application offers you to auto-import them.
Your data may contain multiple methods linked to different injections. The system imports up to ten methods and links them to the injections as defined in the original data system. If there are more than ten methods, a dialog opens. It allows you to either cancel the action, or to import only the method from the first injection and link it to all injections. |
The results in the ChemStation data may have been calculated based on manual integration corrections. However, the manual integration corrections themselves will not be imported. See Imported values. |
